It sounds like you are having an issue with water retaining in the well under the door seal of your Whirlpool WFW72HEDW. This could potentially be due to a clog in the drainage system.

I would recommend checking the drain hose and filter for any obstructions and ensuring that they are clear.

Additionally, checking the door seal for any damage or wear that could be causing the leak. If the issue persists, take it to a technician for diagnose and repair.
